Any point in me buying one here? Will it work over there?

I do have internet, but it's usually under 10Mb and only ADSL. My TV comes in via a Freesat dish, UK free channels, but I also have French TV in the kitchen with an aeriel.

I've fitted a split head on the satellite dish, so am thinking of putting the 32" French bought LG in the bedroom, and buying a decent 40" + TV for the living room.

Any thoughts?

these android tv boxes with kodi installed would work over there i think as they work over the internet. 10mb internet might be a bit slow for it though.

10 - 12 MB is about the minimum needed to be able to stream content in standard definition from something like iPlayer over here, for which I think they use 720p. If you're regularly getting lower speeds than this, you might find some services can't connect at all, or spend a lot of time buffering. Best option would be to do some testing first with a low-cost French-content equivalent of a Now-TV box (£15 in our supermarkets here or online), if they make such a thing over there, and if the results are pants with one of those it probably won't be worth bothering with the new telly.

What about mirroring off my phone etc?

Do you have a lot content worth mirroring already on your phone? Is your 3G/4G signal good enough there to use your phone to access streamed/on-demand content online?
